Taejonbirok Volume 2 Episode 12
Chapter 12 – Negotiating (2)
topper?
What on earth is the standard for what is considered 'good' for a human being?
What on earth is the standard that allows you to speak such nonsense so confidently?
“Would you like to receive the money now?”
Wi Yeon-ho shook his head.
“You don’t have to go that far. I’m not shameless enough to make you go through all that trouble when you’ve given me the money.”
“You are very polite.”
Wi Yeon-ho was weak to praise.
“Hehe, I’ve heard that before.”
Lee Wang-ya let out a sigh.
“……This is fucking crazy.”
I didn't have the strength to be angry anymore.
Wi Yeon-ho turned his head slightly and spoke to Moon Eun-ji.
“That’s what happened.”
“What is happening?”
“Well, that’s just how it is. Thank you for feeding me and giving me a place to stay.”
“This human!”
Moon Eun-ji stood up as if she was going to rush at Wi Yeon-ho at any moment. Even if she hadn’t been tied up with the rope, she would have climbed on Wi Yeon-ho and slapped him in the face.
“This whole place is like that, you know.”
Wi Yeon-ho shrugged his shoulders.
Then he looked at the green leaves and said.
“Then what should I do?”
Green Wind smiled.
“First, will you kill everyone you see in front of you?”
"yes?"
“They are criminals who plotted treason. It is a natural price to be paid for destroying their entire clan. We must kill those here first.”
“You’re going to kill me?”
“That’s right.”
“……But these people haven’t even been tried yet.”
Nokmokpung shook his head.
“Do you know what the punishment is for those involved in treason?”
“Well…….”
“It’s a skill. It involves cutting off the flesh of the entire body, point by point, treating it, and then cutting it off again, repeating the process thousands of times to kill.”
Wi Yeon-ho shivered.
It was a terrible punishment to even imagine.
“If they are formally punished, they will all die like that. It would be better to just behead them here. Would I want to do that?”
"hmm……."
Wi Yeon-ho looked at Moon Eun-ji.
“Is that so?”
“What do you mean by that!”
“Then why did you plot treason?”
“What kind of treason are we plotting! That guy made it all up! Do you believe that?”
“But the situation…….”
Wi Yeon-ho looked around.
If you look at it that way, there are many powerful people gathered in the Central Plains, and there is Lee Wang-ya and even Yeonpanjang.
This was an obvious situation for anyone to see.
“Greed is fleeting.”
“Ahh! This damn human!”
Moon Eun-ji screamed loudly while tied up with rope.
Wi Yeon-ho turned his head, feeling stung.
“But I don’t think it’s killing… I’ve never killed anyone before.”
“Is that so?”
Nokmokpung smiled brightly.
“Then get out of the way. I’ll do it.”
“You’re doing it yourself?”
“I do not wish to get my hands dirty, but there should be no hesitation in enforcing the strict laws of the state. You should step aside. That will be sufficient. I will make sure to prepare the promised treasure by tomorrow morning.”
“Umm…….”
“You don’t trust me?”
“No. I don’t think you would lie. I pride myself on my ability to read people, and people like you may be intimidating, but you don’t lie.”
“So there’s a problem?”
"no."
Wi Yeon-ho took a slight step back.
Nokmokpung left Wiyeonho behind and slowly approached Moon Yu-hwan and the others.

A short sword was revealed from under his sleeve.
“It is time to end now. In the next life, please live loyally to His Majesty.”
Lee Wang-ya shouted in anger.
“You wicked villain! Even after I die, I will never forgive you!”
Green Wind snorted.
“I never asked for forgiveness.”
Moon Yu-hwan also frowned and said.
“How can someone who lives off the country’s allowance do such a disloyal thing?”
Moon Yu-hwan's voice was soft but stern.
Green Tree Fist flinched without realizing it.
“You too must know loyalty and have learned loyalty. It is not too late even now.”
Green Wind smiled brightly.
“What I am doing now is loyalty.”
Moon Yu-hwan sighed and closed his eyes.
Moon Eun-ji glared at Nokmokpung without saying anything.
In the midst of all this, he didn't forget to turn his head and glare at Wi Yeon-ho.
Wi Yeon-ho made excuses.
“Oh, we are without sin!”
“There’s something wrong with this! We don’t know anything!”
Those who felt that the situation was getting worse began to raise their voices.
But Nokmokpung responded coldly.
“The traitorous gang will continue to make excuses until the very end. Make your excuses in front of the King of Hell.”
Lee Wang-ya ground his teeth.
“Green, green, green! Do you think you can cover the sky with your palm?”
Green Wind looked at Iwangya.
“Even if I go to hell, I will never forget what you did!”
“Then why did you plot treason, Your Majesty?”
“Heaven knows, earth knows!”
“But people don’t know. That’s the world.”
Lee Wang-ya glared at Nokmokpung with eyes that looked like they could eat a person and spat out his words.
“Are you planning to kill everyone here?”
“I think so.”
“What crime have they committed!”
“You’re not asking because you don’t know, are you?”
“Okay, kill him. Kill me first!”
“I'll do whatever you want.”
Nokmokpung approached Lee Wangya with an unknown smile.
Lee Wang-ya looked angry, but on the other hand, he closed his eyes as if he had given up.
It was a great regret for Cheonchu that he had not been able to predict Nokgi's movements in advance. He said he would overthrow Nokgi, but he knew how fearful his mind was, and yet he had failed to prepare for it. Who could he blame? It was Lee Wang-ya himself.
Moon Yu-hwan looked at Lee Wang-ya with deep eyes, and Moon Eun-ji glared at Nokmokpung with eyes full of resentment.
Finally, Nokmokpung stood in front of Yiwangya.
“Your Majesty, your only fault is that you are on the opposite side from us. My final courtesy is to personally send you away, the only person worthy of respect in the imperial family.”
“The dog is barking.”
The green wind laughed bitterly.
“Then, the noble King Lee Wang-ya will suffer the humiliation of dying at the paws of a dog. It is a sad thing.”
The green wind lifted the small sword.
“Let’s just do it that far.”
The green wind blowed slowly through the hill.
In the place he looked, Wei Yanhu was sighing deeply with an expression on his face that said everything was bothersome.
“What does that mean?”
“I’m a little tired now. I need to go in and sleep, so let’s stop here.”
“Are you sleeping?”
"yes."
Nokmokpung's brow furrowed.
“Have you forgotten everything we talked about just a moment ago?”
“No way. I don’t have dementia, so how could I forget everything I just said? I’m not the one who should be worrying about that kind of senile dementia…….”
Wi Yeon-ho glanced at Yi Wang-ya furtively.
“This turtle-like bastard!”
Wi Yeon-ho waved his hand.
“I wasn’t specifically pointing out anyone.”
Nokmokpung spoke to Wiyeonho with a stern face.
"however?"
“This is where keeping up with the rhythm ends.”
“Are you saying you don’t trust the things I promised you?”
“I believe you.”
“But? Are you saying that you don’t need power or money?”
“It is necessary.”
The green wind roared.
“Then what the hell is the problem!”
Wi Yeon-ho continued speaking with a sly smile.
“Do you know what is absolutely necessary before being lazy?”
“…….”
There was no way Nokmokpung would have known that.
Because he is a man who has lived his whole life without knowing what laziness is.
“What?”
“Don’t make a fuss. I once broke my father’s precious inkstone, and he was not home at the time. He came home after three whole days, and for those three days, I felt like I was going to die. I couldn’t eat, and I couldn’t sleep. When my father finally came home, I almost died, but after that, I was able to rest comfortably.”
Lee Wang-ya sighed as if he felt truly sorry.
“I should have died then.”
Moon Ji nodded without realizing it.
Wi Yeon-ho stuck out his lips.
“I’m telling you the truth. If my father had hit me one more time, I would have died.”
Lee Wang-ya hit his chest as if he felt really sorry.
“If only you had hit me one more time!”
“Okay, just one.”
Wi Yeon-ho was troubled after hearing the conversation between Lee Wang-ya and Moon Eun-ji.
“I guess I’ll just let him die.”
“Khuhhhhhh!”
Lee Wang-ya blushed and turned his head.
“Anyway, if you want to live comfortably, you shouldn’t have any worries. But no matter how much I think about it, I think it would be really uncomfortable if the people here died. That woman in particular, it’s obvious that even if she dies, she’ll become a ghost and torment people.”
Nokmokpung's face grew cold.
"so?"
“Master also said, don’t forget grudges, but don’t forget kindness even more. Those who don’t return what they received will one day pay more for the kindness they received. Before the interest compounded and accumulated tenfold or twentyfold, you must pay off your debt.”
Wi Yeon-ho said with a grin.
“But no matter how I look at it, I feel like now is the time to repay that favor.”
“I see.”
Green Wind nodded.
“It sounds grandiose, but the bottom line is that you want to stop me?”
“Well, I guess that’s what happened. It’s not exactly what I wanted though.”
“Hahahahaha!”
Green Wind laughed loudly and glared at Wi Yeon-ho.
“Do you think I tried to persuade you because I was afraid of you?”
“I don’t think so at all.”
“Do you think it would be difficult for me to kill you if I put my mind to it? I tried to take care of you because you seemed so talented, but you’re acting so wantonly, not knowing how high the sky is.”
“I agree that you are being reckless and ignorant. I think I have that side to myself. But even if you wanted to, it wouldn’t be easy to kill me.”
“Do you really think so?”
Wi Yeon-ho shrugged his shoulders.
“No matter what I say, I don’t think you’ll change your mind without checking it yourself, so I won’t answer.”
The green leaves revealed their teeth.
“You know very well. Then I will tell you. If I wanted to, killing you would be nothing.”
Green Wind raised both hands.
Then his sleeves puffed out taut.
“Know that it is an honor to die by my hand!”
The wind began to blow around the green leaves.
“Hmm!”
Lee Wang-ya swallowed his sighs as he watched the scene.
Even Lee Wang-ya could not have predicted that Nokmokpung would be hiding such inaction.
Green Woodwind's two hands turned pure white and slowly stretched themselves forward.
“Let me give you a piece of advice. In your next life, give up that laziness and live diligently!”
Pfft!
At that moment, Nokmokpung's two hands filled the four corners of heaven and earth.
Wherever I looked, I could only see the hands of the green tree wind. The scene of pure white hands filling the yard was extremely terrifying and eerie.
“Ugh!”
At that amazing sight, Iwangya took a deep breath.
